Readers' Choice: Best Historical Landmark

Patch kicked off a series last week that will ask you about your favorite things in Oakton over the next few weeks.

This week: What's your favorite historical landmark in Oakton? We've compiled a list of Oakton's landmarks and set up a poll at the bottom of this article. Vote for your favorite and tell your friends to vote for theirs!

If you’re a big fan of a particular place, pump them up by submitting photos or other multimedia.

Click "Nearby" in the upper right corner of the site to view this week’s "Readers' Choice" in a neighboring Patch town.

Here is a list of Oakton landmarks taken from Fairfax County's master list of historic sites:

• Appledore/Poplar Vale, 3000C Fox Mill Road, c. 1806 
• Gabrielson Gardens Park/Great Crest, 2514 Leeds Road, 1950
• Oakton School, 2841 Hunter Mill Road, 1897

• , 11528 Vale Road, 1896 

Over the coming weeks we’ll highlight other "Readers' Choice" categories that highlight local businesses, things to do and places to see. It’s an opportunity to learn more about our town. Besides, everyone loves a good debate about who offers the best this or where’s the best place for that.

Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be chosen based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

Voting closes at 9 a.m. Friday.

The winner will be announced at noon Friday.

So tell us which local landmark is your favorite. And write a comment below to tell us why.
